[C#] Dreaming of windows black [A#m] tinted like a hearse
[C#m] Waking up to life [D#m] sometimes seems worse
[C#] And all I ever wanted [A#m] is to be a better man
And [C#] I try to keep [D#m] it real with my homies [C#] man
Want me to save [A#m] the world I don't understand
[C#m] How did I become [D#m] the leader of a billion people
We got you [C#] on the streets already and we're staying
Oh I can't believe my ears and what [D#m] everybody's saying
[C#] Boy I tell you folks don't know the highs
I [B] was giving all [C#] up just to [D#m] take one ride But you
[C#] Now I used to street perform [G#] on Friday But you
Now I'd go [C#] to church on [D#m] Easter Sunday But you
[C#] Instead of y'all throwing them [A#m] phones at [B] me
[C#] Somebody [D#m] pray for me
Oh [C#] shit I can hold you [A#m] now
Oh shit I can [C#] touch you [D#m] now
Oh [F#] shit I can talk [A#m] to you
Be with [F#] you [C#] somehow
[D#m] Still I know
[C#] You're in a better [A#m] place
In a better place
But I [C#] can't see your [D#m] face Oh [F#] I'm
Smiling down on you
[A#m] _
[B] Everything's [C#] okay
[D#m] All of my [C#] homies
Oh shit I can hold you [F#] now
Oh shit I can touch you [D#m] now Right now
[F#] Oh shit I can talk [A#m] to you
Be with [B] you [C#] somehow [D#m] Somehow
You're [C#] in a better place
Oh [G#] I [C#] can't see your [D#m] face
See your [F#] face
But I'm smiling down on you

[B] Everything's [C#] okay
[D#m] All of my [C#] homies
Oh shit I can hold you [F#] now

Come on and breathe my [B] air

In a better place
Come [F#] on and breathe my air
But I [C#] can't see your face
